Creator's Key Takeaways
This ship is a perfect blend between classic elegance and modern comfort.
I've dined in Holland America's Lido Market a few times, and it's one of the better buffets at sea, I would must say.
The food on board in America is generally quite good. I enjoy it.
Name me a more iconic departure location anywhere around the world. It's definitely right up there.
